BI 211 - Human Anatomy and Physiology I

Course Description: A study of the structure and function of the human body at the cellular through system level of organization. Laboratory emphasis is on the gross structure of muscular, nervous and skeletal system.

Credit Hours: 3:3:4

Learning Outcomes: Students successfully completing this course will be able to:

  • define atoms, molecules, chemical bonding, and inorganic and organic compounds;
  • able to describe the basic organization and principle chemical processes of the cells and tissues
  • explain the basic organization and principle processes of the human body and how the body systems work together maintaining homeostasis of the internal environment;
  • both interrelate the subject material within a study area (or system) and interrelate these to each other;
  • identify anatomical features and functions of the integumentary system;
  • describe the structural and functional relationships among the bones, articulations and muscles and the role of these systems in the maintenance of homeostasis;
  • identify and describe the structural features of the nervous system and explain their functional roles in receiving, integrating, and conducting information;
  • apply knowledge of the systems to practical, problem-solving situations.

Course Assessment: Exams, quizzes, laboratory practicals, and participation.
